We’re joined by Rep. Mike Jones of Andalusia, the new chair of
the powerful House Rules Committee. He will discuss his role in
vetting bills and deciding which ones to send to the House floor
for debate. We’re also be joined by Rep. Ken Johnson of Moulton and
Courtney Sirmon with the Alabama Birth Coalition. They will talk
about the state later this month beginning the process of putting
together a board to license midwives in Alabama. They hope that
certified professional midwives can begin practicing in the state
by next year. And we will discuss all of the week’s top state
government news in our "Week in Review" segment.
